BAND BOOSTERS
An
Supporters of the movement for a Bartlett
Band are offered an opportunity to assure the suc-
cess of that organization in their cooperation with
the newly organized Bartlett Band Booster Club.'
Any individual interested in the band is eligible for
membership.
.'.. Article II of the Constitution of the new or-
ganization gives its commendable object and ex-
plains why a large membership is desirable. It
reads:
"Its object shall be to secure the coopera-
tion of its members and the citizenship at large -with
the Bartlett Public School band or bands its ac-
tivities and its leader and to render any assistance
possible to said band and its program."
1 Financial assistance will be needed espec
ially at the start but the principal purpose of the
organization is not to raise finances by any direct
j methods but rather to cooperate with the band in
any of its plans for entertainments concerts con
. Tests and otner public appearances wnen pro-
grams are sponsored by the organization the pub-
'o jlic may be assured that they will get full value for
. ' ; ;heir small admission price.
t'i-" The small membership fee of twenty-five
f cents per year is proof enough that the first purpose

DISCRIMINATION
-vi - Cotton acreage allotments for 1 940 as an-
nounced last week-end by the Department of Ag
riculture show a reduction of 472842 acres over
1 93 9v. The reason is easy to understand but the
-reason why this reduction was not made uniformly
between the states either on a total acreage or a
total production basis is beyond our comprehen-
sion. Texas with 36.8 percent of the total ac-
reage of the nation could reasonably be expected to
v $tand a like percent of the total reduction. To such
: f&course we do not feel there would be any criticism.
' 'However when we examine the figures we find
that Texas is given a cut of 222455 acres or near-
ly3 orie-balf of the total national reduction (47 per-
i cent) . And going a little further we find that of
the 472842 acres reduction 416081 acres or 88
1 percent are to be taken from' the three South-
'lyestern States of Texas Oklahoma and Arkansas.
j These three states accounted for only 40 percent
of the nations 1 939 production and only 53.66 per-
. .cent of the total acreage of 1 939.
?r!( " Hon. W. R. Poage Congressman from the
- 1 1th District pointed out these things in a letter to
Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace on the
". day following announcement of the 1 940 allot-
ment and we agree with him as he went on to say:
As I see it this can only be interpreted as a direct
crimination against the Southwest.
We also quote the closing paragraphs of his
ter which certainly in our opinion express the
sentiment of the people of this section:
"The people of Texas do not have the fac-
tories and mills of the Eastern States. We must
depend on our land for our living. Every index
shows that economic recovery has been much more
rapid East of the Mississippi River. Our people
are still out of work. Every reduction in cotton
acreage forces additional farm families to our over-
crowded cities. We can not understand why as
additional cuts in cotton acreage are required that
our Jieecly people should carry more than their fair
&&'-: pare or .the load
"May I ask why this discrimination? And
: way I here arid now be permitted to express my
disapproval of a policy that reduces cotton acreage
in Texas while actually' increasing the acreage in
Georgia?
"Mr. Secretary all 'we ask is equal treat-
ment. On equal treatment we must insist ' '
".'

A Year Round
Cash drop f oar Every Section of Texas
Twenty years ago only 30 counties in Texas produced oil.
TODAy OIL AND GAS ARE PRODUCED W W C0UHTIES!
Ninety-eight additional counties are receiving the benefits
of leasing and exploration activities.
Thus In 245 of Texas' 254 counties business govornmont lax collector
wago comer farmer and rancher receive their part of tho oil man's
expenditures every month In tho yoar.
Even the dry holes (52.000 drillod to dale at a cost of a billion dollars)
contributed their share of employment and wide distribution of money. '
Last year land owners received 50 million dollars In lease rentals and
bonuses alone.
In many counties where oil is a major factor local government receives
as much as 90 of its total tax revenue from the oil business.
i nen too. tho Slate collects 45 of its tax money (exclusive of the gcwolua v&S
